It was always in his power to dis cover the simple process of thrusting his hand into his trousers pocket and feeling aronnd that he hadn't any money, yet there was always out standing accounts on subscription, job-work, and advertising that were more than sufficient, as he had fan cied, to make him square with the, world.

'Til adopt the cash system!" lie took his feet down frtrai the ta ble, went oat of his office, and pro ceeded to the village bank, where he engaged the President of that insti tution, Mr. Wildcat^ earnest con versation for half an hour vyij-hout any visible result. Then he came back to hw cilice, took off his coat, went to the case, and with his own hands be put in type the following: ANNOUNCEMENT. For the purpose of pluomg the Sp'ketovm Blizzard on the solid foundution of perma nence and prosperity uud giving it u financial character commensurate with the commanding influence it exerts in £h« world of journalism, the editor has deter mined after mature deliberation to |4aue this paper on a CASH basis. The subscription i rice of the. Blizzard hereafter will h« SI.25, CASH IN ADVANCE No names will be placed on the books un less the money accompanies thft order. When tfcip time of any subscriber lias ex pired his paper will be stopped unless an order for renewal is received, accompanied by the cash. This is the last number that will be seat to subscribers who are in arrears. At the end of one month from this date a.11 accounts against delinquent subscribers will be placed in the hands of an officer for collection, with instructions to push tbciu TO THE BITTElt END. The free list is entirely suspended. Tfiis Is. tho last copy that Mil be sent to jtead- heads. The Spiketown Blizzard has adopted th« cash system. And don't you forget it. The Blizzard has come to stav. Set in large type and "leaded" with wtioden "niglet" this announcement filled a column. He mailed tbe entire edition to his subscribers, locked the olllce, and went home. The next morning there wire found tacked up in the postottice, barber shop, and on several prominent cor ners written notices calling for a pub lic meeting at the Town Hall that evening "to protest against the in sulting and unprecedented editorial in the Blizzard of this week and to take some action befitting the oc casion as representatives of a high- spirited and self-respecting com- Munity." . ^ It was signed "Many Citizens." • - -When the sun had gone down, and the stars had come out, and the busi ness houses on the public square were illuminated with all the glory of kero sene lamps and polished tin reflectors, Editor Clugston put his subscription book under his arm and sallied forth to participate in the deliberations at the Town Hall. The room was full and reeking with the odor of cigars, pipes, and perspir ing humanity. The chair was occupied by tho Rev. Mr. Allright, pastor of one of the churches. The secretary was Mr. llowmuch, the leading dealer in dry goods and clothing, hats and caps, shoes. "The resolution before the house," tbe chairman was saying, "is to the effect that the citizens of Spiketown rlemand an explanation from the edi- tor^of the Blizzard for the extraordi nary announcement that appeared in his paper this morning. Are you ready for the question?" Cries of "Question!" "Question!" The resolution passed unanimously. The banker, Mr. Wildcat, then arose. "If Mr. Clugston is in the house," be said, "perhaps this will be as good a time as any for him to make the explanation." Editor Clugston stalked slowly and solemnly forward to the platform. Amid the most profound silence he turned and faced the audience. "The explanation, gentlemen," he said, "is that it takes money to run the Blizzard. In looking over my subscription list (and he took it out from under his arm and opened it) I find that I have twenty-seven dead heads to whom 1 furnish the Blizzard free. Among these deadheads is your chairman, for whom I have the high est respect, together with the four other preachers in Spiketown. Your secretary is another deadhead. He advertises to the extent of $50 a year, most of which I take in trade, and I have charged him nothing for his copy of the Blizzard. The two gentle men I see sitting by the stove are also " . %v "It is asking too much of Mr. Clugston, perhaps," suggested the banker suavely, ""to expect him to enumerate all his deadhead subscribers in this audience. T •> "No trouble at all," eheertoll? In terposed Mr. Clugston, "ofily 1 don't want to consume the time of this meeting. There's about fifteen of them here, I think. And when it comes to delinquents, who owe me from 50 cents to $3,- this meeting, gentleman, comes pretty near being unanimous. I've got over $500 outstanding on subscription, and, so help me Horace Greeley, the re's nearly $300 of it in this audience!" Euiio: 'C: a^ston looked over the congregation. There were the fel lows who had subscribed two years before "to help him along" a&d had never paid a cent. ' There were the merchants who got extra copies to send to friends and thought they were entitled to them for nothing. There were the tough men of the vil lage, whose names had got on his list somehow, whom- he didn't dare to dun, and there were the men who borrowed the paper instead of sub scribing for it and found more fault with it than anybody else did. "While I am explaining things," continued Editor Clugston. "I will explain that I owe my cub at the office a month's salary I owe a board bill of $17.30. 1 ovre about $75 in bills coming due in a week. And I've got $1.35 to pay 'em with. Took in $1 on subscription to-day. It isn't likely," he added, raising his voice, "that I'll ever have a* favorable nn opportunity to inaugura: c my cash system as I have right now. Your accounts on subscription are in this book, gentlemen. You will oblige me very much by coming forward and settling at once." In the sepulchral stillness that fol lowed his remarks Banker Wildcat came to the front with $6.25, which ^he said was the payment in advance "for five copies of the Blizzard. Then the Chairman, followed by the Secretary and several others of the assembled deadheads, handed over $1.25 each in silence. ,^/Subscribcrs who were in arrears for * .THE WANDER1MQ JEW* tion.

And now mark how Editor Clugs- tou had met this last great crisis in his career. That indignation, meeting was his own scheme. He originated It in all Its details, and its successful outcome was the re sult of a private arrangement made with Banker Wildcat the day before. Once again let it go on record that no combinations of circumstances can ever crush the truly great journalist It la Human to Krr. fie was a -spruce looking young fel low witita some jewelry display, un quiet clothes, and a polka dot shirt, but he had money, as a fifty-dollar bill in his hand testified. He looked up and down the car a minute and then started down the aisle. •"I say, my friend," he remarked to & well-to-do-farmer, "I lieed some change hallv, and if you will give me $45 for this $50 bill it will be an ac commodation to me." The farmer didn't more than look up when he shook his head aud said he was short ot change. 1 "All right." chirruped the young one and passed on to a man who was unmistakably a city broker. "Can you erivc me $45 in change for this $50?" he asked-sticking tbe bill out at him. The broker glanced at it a minute and was sorry he couldn't accommo date him. He smiled pleasantly and went on to a smart young drummer from New York apparently. "If you've got $40 in 'change and will let me have it for $50, it's yours." he said laying it down before the drummer. The traveling man looked up with a sly wink. "Come off, cully," he said famil iarly. "I guess you're not onto niy curves. Suppose you try that hay seed in the other end of the car." The man with the fifty only smiled and went on to the next man, to whom he offered it for $3o, and then to the next at $30 and to the next at $25, in each instance meeting with a refusal to negotiate. Then he made a general offer to anybody in the car to sell that $50 bill for $20 in chance, and then he dropped to $10, but still no takers. There is no telling what he would have offered it at if the train boy hadn't come alone: just in the nick of time. "Here hoy," he said to him. "I want $2 worth of novels if yo^ can change this $50 bill." The I toy took it,<iAi».i.'.;£v and remarked: "Cert, mister. till I go git it changed." In five minutes he returned with a handful of fives, tens, Ones, and twos, took out his $2 for his novels, and the spruce young fellow, with a broad grin at everybody in tight, sat down to read and think.

An original and important industry is carried on at Kansas City in the manufacture of soap from the wild and pWekly plant of the, prairies known as the MexicAn soap weed, and, as described, its treatmqjit af fords a notable illustration of the modern utilization of waste products. Since the Kansas prairie was an in land sea, says the Kansas City Times, this weed has thrust its roots deep into the soil of the unsheltered plains and to gather these a sharp spade is driven down deeply by the side of the plant, th'e earth is brolcenj and the thick, brown root secured, the top, with its long spines, being thrown aside. The root known to extend as far^as twenty foet into the soil, but only from tw* or three feet of the upper portion, which is about t#o*incheb thick, is ot practical service in the production ot soap. In the manufacture ol ter, the roots are first wa^hed^^then cut up and boiled out in a big vat, where other ingredients are also placed, and when this is dried out to such a degree" that it will solidify, it is moldea into semi-transparent cakes which possess all the desirable quali ties of toilet soap. A peculiar charac teristic said to pertain to this weed is that, notwithstanding it grows in a region where alkali roots dot the ground, and where the soil is white with the chemical, none oi it is fou&d in the rqpt. A Bsbbl Says That the J*roph«t Kigali Waitbe Orlglaak Dr. Fhilipson, rabbi of the Mount Street Temple, Cincinnati, on the "Wandering Jew" in vil Avenue Temple, says the Cleve land Plain Dealer. In part the lec ture was as follows: "All nations are loth to believe that their good and great men. their heroes, are not alive. In former age? they have willingly listened to any tradition which said that their illus trious predecessors were not dead. King Arthur was supposed bv the English to live on, although he did not appear before them The Ger mans imagined that "Frederick Barba- rossa lay in a trance until the time ol great neejl would come to the nation, when he would again lead them to victory. Many nations have had sim ilar traditions. Everywhere we find the stories of the immortal sleepers. "It is to this class that the story of the 'Wandering Jew' probably be longs. Early in the thirteenth cen tury a form of the legend was given to the English-speaking people by an Armenian bishop. It was not the legend of a wanderer, but of an im mortal or waiting Jew, who must exist to the end of time. In the six teenth century we hear of a version which has been the text of many a drama; the legend of a Jew doomed to wander up and down the earth to the end of tin)? bees.vise of an insult offered to the Christian Savior. Let us look for the source of the story: "The Jews, like other nations, had their legends of their immortal great men. Enoch was supposed to have been taken from his surroundings without dying a natural death. Elijah was taken to the skies in a chariot of fire. Tradition stated that Elijah was wandering in disguise among his people doing good wherever he went. There is no doubt that this was the first Wandering Jew, the immortal Elijah. This is no doubt the source from which the Christian storv took its riss» rJ?l5£ first uppssrsnGCS of tb® legend were during the middle ages, at about the time of the most relent- les$jjersecution of the Jews. "A Christian monk perhaps shaped the legend of Elijah to his own pur pose to represent the Jews as a cursed race.. By the flimsy logic prevalent at that age a scriptural quotation was fitted to the altered legend, and the tale of the Wandering Jew aug mented the bitterness of the perse cution. But this legend, once be lieved, Is now known to be but a legend. Still it is ignorantly thought and preached in too many places. But 1>"Israeli has proved in his writ ings that the scattering of the Jews is not the result of a curse. Historic ally and dogmatically it is proved to be impossible. The Jews were pres ent in every quarter of the .known world before the crucifixion, allowing the story of the crucifixion to be true. This surely was not the result of the Sailor's curse. Dogmatically the only grounds for the supposed curse are found in the words attrib uted by Matthew to the rabble: 'His blood lie ifpon us and our children.' These were the words of the judged and not of the judge, if the tata ̂ be true." Tbe Good Old Time*. People who long for "the good old times" cannot be told too frequently that there has never been a time as the present. Poets have much to say about "the spacious time of great Elizabeth." But a recent writer in Hater's Magazine paints a not alto gether flattering picture of the morals of that time. It was a great time, -he says, for drinking. Even grave divines drank large quantities of wine. Pepys is constantly getting "foxed" with drink; on one occasion he is afraid of reading evening prayers, lest the servants should discover his con dition. Of course they did discover it, and went to bed laughing--but uot aloud; and, as the maids kept no diary, the world never learned it. London drank freely. Pepys tells how one lady, dining at Sir William Bullen's, drank at one draught a pint and a half of white wine. They all went to church a great deal, and had fast days on every occasion of doubt and difficulty. On the first! Sunday in the year, the longest psalm in the book--could /it have been the 119th? If so, cruel!--was given out after the sermon. This took an hour to sing, and all the while the sexton went about the church making a collection. On Valentine's day the married men took each other's wives for valentines. Public wrestling matches were held, foiiuwei by bouts with the cudgels. They still carry, 011 the sports of bull and bear baiJng. Once they baited a savage horse to deafi; That is, they attempted it, but lie drove off all the dogs, and, the people in sisting on his death, they stabbed him to death. The King issued two patents for theaters--one to Henry Killigrew, at Drury Lane, whosa company called themselves the King's servants; the other to Sir William Davenant of Dorset Gardens, whose company were the Duke's servants. There were still left many very fine superstitions. These are illustrated by the remedies advertised for the plague and other diseases. A spider, for instance, placed in a nutshell and wrapped in silk was considered a sovereign remedy for ague. They be lieved in the malignant influence 01 the pianets. One evening at a danc ing-house half a dozen boys and girls were taken suddenly ill. Prob ably they had'swaliowed some poison ous stuff. They were supposed to be planet-struck. And of course they ^betrayed in astrology and chiromancy, the latter ,of which has again come into fashion. /•" A Methodical Farmer. •lUe late Ebenezer F.
